Who knows?

Looks like another used car salesman selling machines.

One picture looks like one of the "bling" games that was at an Expo in the states. Another looks like Alan Shoppe's garage door.

Here we go again !

The listing does have a ph number and an address to go visit the machine.  Maybe a mix up of photos or he might have multiple T2's for sale.

I would go around and check it out, might snag a bargain. Weirder things have happened. ?

Certainly does look like Expo Nino.  Completely different machine to what is in the other photos.

As for some of the others, well the watermark clearly shows the owner of the photos http://www.aaarpinball.com/T2/t2.htm

I have had photos of my (or customers) restorations used (without permission) by sellers on eBay.  One of the dangers of hosting them online.  That is the reason why they are now all watermarked.

This is the part that always gets my alarm bells ringing:

Everything Eh? And exactly who are these "Technicians"? in this case probably tyre technicians but they could be nail technicians or anyone???

I have seen this before where sellers put photos from IPDB, because they are too lazy to take any more photos or the machine is packed up and not available for photos.
You think the machine looks immaculate, but when you get there its rough as, if I see photos of a machine that looks really good, the first thing I check is IPDB for matching photos
